Our History

More than nine decades ago, children and adults with mental retardation and developmental disabilities often endured abuse and abandonment in large institutions. In response to the isolation they faced, the Rev. K.G. William Dahl, a Lutheran pastor, founded Bethphage near Axtell, NE, in 1913.

Bethphage soon became known as the "miracle of the prairie" for its dedication to helping people with disabilities grow toward independence. This rich heritage of supporting and advocating for people with disabilities grew further on July 1, 2003, with the founding of Mosaic, the consolidation of Bethphage and Martin Luther Homes.

Nima J, who arrived at Mosaic at Axtell in 2008, is 15 and
attends our Mosaic School. When she first came to Mosaic her mother said that Nima was interested in sewing and that she had a sewing machine.

As goals for Nima where established, Nima wanted to continue that interest. For a number of years staff at Mosaic have had a quilt club, which meets every Saturday. One of the members of this club is Nima's teacher, Kathy Maxon.

Nima was invited to attend a meeting and last year became a regular member. She has been given assistance with her first quilts, but as she goes along she is getting more independent. She is very determined. Her first goal was to complete the quilt shown, but she has plans to make several baby quilts, which she wants to present to a number of staff friends here at Mosaic in Axtell.
